I'm almost positive there are quite a few, no several, threads with this vary same title...


You've got 2 choices my friend...

Body or Suspension.

I wouldn't do a body alone b/c it's useless except for being able to cram a bigger tire than your truck wasn't made to run with stock.

Where I would use a body lift is in conjunction with a drivetrain lift. That in effect makes your frame the lowest point, and it's the best skid plate you'll ever find In My Opinion.


Step 2 is suspension. Get ready to pay here, as it'll cost the most but will have the best results for off roading.

Check for a kit on Marlin or Trailgear. Maybe do a combo of both body and suspension to get the full 3 inches...
